Lest that misstatement become the final word, here is the snip from LoTW regarding whether ARRL membership is required for LoTW participation (which was the original question):
"Do I have to be an ARRL member to use LoTW? No. Anyone can submit log data to LoTW. U.S. Amateurs must be ARRL members to obtain DXCC, WAS, or VUCC awards. Amateurs residing outside the U.S. can participate in any awards."
